We are extremely excited to be heading home this weekend. We leave Friday and will be in the Seattle area until Monday morning. We are anticipating so many things - time with family, a break from our new life here, good food!, the Wedding, airplane rides, a break from studying, and much more...
I have been keeping quite busy at Old Navy. It is typical that I will either get a call prior to my shift to ask me to come in early or once I get there they will ask me to stay later. This has been really good in the sense that I'm getting more hours and making some money to help cover our expenses. It has been pretty hard to plan anything else around it, though! I am so thankful that God has provided a way for me to bring in some income. We are in need and He has provided. Praise Him!
I had a second interview at Medline today. I met Renee the manager of the place which confirmed all the wonderful things I have been told about her. She is such a nice woman - and if you can tell from meeting someone one time, which I believe you can, she has the Holy Spirit in her and it shows. The interview went incredibly well. She and I had a really nice conversation in which she asked me some fun questions about myself - sortof in an unconventional way - to get to know the kinds of things that make me tick. To see how I would fit in with the people who work there. I was really encouraged and I am hopeful that come Monday, when they make their final decision(s) that I will be one of the candidates they choose to work there. Please be in prayer with me that as they look over the interview notes from both interviews and are contemplating me as a possibility that they will look on me favorably. I never thought I would be in a place where I would do a job like this one, but I feel like God is bringing me to a place of humility and willingness to give up the desires of my heart for the desires of His. What I mean by that is I fully intended to get a job as a surgical tech being that I am trained to that end. I am learning...oh, I should have known...that God's plans are almost never the ones I make for myself. I am experiencing a peace and joy unexplainable, even in this time where I don't even know if I've been awarded the position at Medline, that is helping me to look forward to what God has for me with contentedness. The fact that I know God has my time in His capable hands is the most comforting thing. And I know that our financial needs are in the care of Jehovah Jireh, My Provider. And that "All I have in Him is More than Enough". Oh my, faith is such a journey...
